Third guy
I think the 2nd guy's more or less done, so it's time to get on with the third one from the first photo.
Here he is in his original roughly paint-daubed form. The colours and matt texture make me think I might have done this in enamels. I remember using them on my first miniatures. Not entirely sure if this was one of them though.
I started on the skin. I chose a dark colour because I wanted practice painting dark skin.
[orange/brown base, red ink, white highlights shaded yellow/brown/Bronzed Flesh I think]
I've continued the blue trim on the hat, gone for a red henna hair colour, done the gun in black with yellow details; the shoes in green and the bag and pouch in yellow ochre. For some reason I felt the green shoes were needed, but it didn't look good to me. I've changed them to red and blue parti-coloured, after the hat colour scheme, and a pair I saw on a web search. I might change them both to red.
The yellow ochre is an artist's colour, and I've just worked out how to use them. I had tried before mixing them with water, which gave a gooey slimey mess that you can't paint with. You have to just brush a damp brush over the thick paint to pick up a tiny bit to paint with. Check it on your kitchen towel or hand and it works fine.
The skin in the final frame has gone yellow because I messed up trying to make the tone more realistic. I had done the knuckles a paler highlight colour, before realising that dark skin is darker at the knuckles (mine are pale). I'll try to return to the original tone, with or without added realism.
Hope someone enjoys. As usual tips are welcome.
